Hey guys! I wrote down some of my thoughts regarding the new look that the just announced Sigma lenses have in my blog. I think that Sigma made a huge leap in the right direction. Do you guys care about the design and appearance of lenses? If so, how much?

It is much less important how they look than how the pictures look.
But they are defenitely looking more sexy

They look great!!! Let's hope their performance matches the new look. My guess (based on my current Siggys) is that they are going to be pretty awesome glass. The wildcard will be the price points.

They do look good, lets hope they sort the AF issues on the 50mm!

Minimal & SEXY.

The real deal for me however is IQ and value for money.

Just got my 17-70 OS over the summer. I'm good with the IQ, but if the new one is an improvement I may have to switch it out. Really like the new look and direction for Sigma.

They do look nice, sleek, sporty and improved. I can think of a lot of other words to describe a lens. But, never sexy? You guys really need to get out more often. :lol:
